SUMMARY:Photo & Art Exhibition “In Our Voices: Health & Resilience along the Thailand-Myanmar Border”
DESCRIPTION:Despite Thailand having one of the best national healthcare systems in the region\, not everyone can access it. Cross-border populations often live in underprivileged conditions and are exposed to infectious diseases such as malaria and tuberculosis. Limitations to health care access\, due to geographical\, financial\, socio-cultural\, language or security concerns\, preclude effective prevention and treatment of diseases. Women and children are particularly at risk due to inadequate maternal and child services. \nTo highlight cross-border health concerns\, Mahidol Oxford Tropical Medicine Research Unit (MORU) and Shoklo Malaria Research Unit (SMRU) in collaboration with SEA Junction will hold a multimedia exhibition “In Our Voices: Health & Resilience along the Thailand-Myanmar Border” on 15-27 October\, from 11 am to 7 pm in the corner space of BACC. The opening of the exhibition which will marked by a short video screening followed by panel discussion on 15 October at 6 pm. \nThe exhibition and the panel discussion reveal the living environment of cross-border populations\, their exposure to malaria and other tropical diseases and the vulnerability of women and children among them. It also shows their resilience in confronting these difficulties and the importance of involving them in efforts to improve their health conditions. The relevance of participatory health research processes that take into account community’s insights and strengthen their capacity and social support mechanisms is here stressed.  \nThe exhibition combines photos\, drawings\, and other visual material produced by frontline health workers and public engagement team members\, showing the communities’ daily risks\, burdens and hardships. The artworks are made by the community members themselves and show their experiences and ability to overcome daily challenges. \nThese activities were undertaken under the project *REACH = Resilience\, Empowerment and Advocacy in Women’s and Children’s Health Research (https://www.ethox.ox.ac.uk/Our-research/major-programmes/reach) and benefited from the insights of +T-CAB = Tak Province Community Ethics Advisory Board members with the financial support of Wellcome Trust and UK Medical Research Council Newton Fund. \n  \nExhibition Opening Agenda on 15 October 2019 \n\n\n\nTime\nDescription\n\n\n5.30 pm\nRegistration at SEA Junction\, Room 408\, 4th floor BACC\n\n\n6 pm to \n8 pm \n \nWelcoming Remarks \n· Rosalia Sciortino\, Director SEA Junction and Associate Professor IPSR\, Mahidol University \n· Phaik Yeong Cheah\, Mahidol Oxford Tropical Medicine Research Unit\, and Associate Professor\, University of Oxford\n\n\nVideo Screening – In Our Voices (a video on health research participation by +T-CAB members and health workers on the Thai-Myanmar border)\n\n\nPanel discussion  \nPanelists:  \n· Suphak Nosten\, Photographer and SMRU Designated Media Person\, Shoklo-Malaria Research Unit (SMRU) \n· Francois Nosten\, Director\, Shoklo Malaria Research Unit \n· Rose McGready\, Deputy Director\, Shoklo Malaria Research Unit \n· Cynthia Maung\, Director and Founder of Mae Tao Clinic \nModerator: Phaik Yeong Cheah\, Mahidol Oxford Tropical Medicine Research Unit\n\n\nClosing remarks –Rosalia Sciortino\, Director SEA Junction and Associate Professor IPSR\, Mahidol University\n\n\nOpening of the photo exhibition by Cynthia Maung (Fl.1)\n\n\n\n  \nSpeakers’ Short Bios \nSuphak Nosten \nSuphak is a Senior Advisor\, SMRU\, based in Maesot\, Tak province\, Thailand and a member the of Malaria Elimination Task Force program (METF).  She is an official photographer of SMRU who has taken the photographs for the “Our Voices” exhibition.

SUMMARY:2020 APSA Asia Workshop: Call For Leadership Proposals
DESCRIPTION:The American Political Science Association (APSA) is pleased to announce a call for proposals from political scientists interested in serving as co-leaders for the 2nd annual Asia Workshop. The one-week program will be held at a university or research institute in East Asia in the summer of 2020. For a full description of the program and application process\, see the project website: https://connect.apsanet.org/asia/. \nBackground \nFunded by Henry Luce Foundation\, the Asia Pacific Workshops are a multi-year effort to support political science research and networking among early-career scholars across the East and Southeast Asia. The workshops extend APSA’s engagement with the international political science community and strengthen efforts to support research networks linking U.S. scholars with colleagues in Asia. The inaugural workshop is being hosted by Universiti Sains Malaysia (USM) in Penang\, Malaysia from June 23-29\, 2019. \nWorkshops are hosted in cooperation with universities and research institutions in East and Southeast Asia. Each program is led by a team of two scholars based at universities in the Asia and two scholars based in the U.S. \nUp to twenty competitively-selected PhD candidates and post-doctoral researchers from across the Asian region are selected to participate. Each program is dedicated to a substantive issue in political science\, with a unique schedule of lectures\, discussions\, topical presentations and debates\, guest speakers\, peer review sessions\, professional development seminars\, and local field trips. Throughout the program\, fellows receive critical feedback on their own research and work to refine their manuscripts for publication. The working language of the program is English. \nWorkshop co-leaders serve as academic directors of the program and are responsible for identifying universities or research institutes in the region to host the workshops\, preparing a unique syllabus with readings and discussion sessions\, and providing detailed feedback on participants’ research. Program administration and logistics will be led by APSA staff in conjunction with local host partners. An honorarium will be provided and related expenses (transportation and lodging) will be covered. \nApplication Instructions and Criteria \nWorkshop proposals should be submitted jointly by the four co-leaders (two based in the Asia and two based in the U.S.). Leadership teams may include a combination of junior (assistant professor) and senior scholars (associate or full professor); however\, must include at least two senior scholars with experience advising PhD candidates. Proposals should explain the scope of the professional ties between workshop co-leaders\, with preference given to individuals and teams demonstrating previous collaboration\, and to teams that represent diverse communities across East Asia\, Southeast Asia\, and the United States. \nWorkshop proposals should specify\, with justification\, where the workshop will take place and with which institution (since the 2019 workshop will take place in Southeast Asia\, proposals should indicate an institutional partner in East Asia to host the 2020 workshop). Strong preference will be given to proposals that include one of the Asian-based co-leaders’ institutions as host partner. Local partners must present a welcoming environment for social science research and have the institutional capacity to support a successful residential workshop\, including close linkages to local institutions of higher education and research communities. \nProposals should be written in three sections:\nI.

SUMMARY:ASEAN in Today's World (AsTW)
DESCRIPTION:ASEAN in Today’s World (AsTW) is a two-week international study program focusing on ASEAN and East Asian affairs. It is designed for university undergraduate students from around the world. The medium of instruction is English. AsTW was launched in March 2009 in Thailand. From 2009 to 2011\, AsTW was co-organized by Kyushu University (Japan) and Mahidol University (Thailand). From 2012 to 2014\, Kyushu University worked together with Ateneo de Manila University (the Philippines) and hosted AsTW in the Philippines. From 2015 to 2017\, AsTW was held at Vietnam National Universiy\, Hanoi (Vietnam). Since 2018\, AsTW has been co-organized with University of Malaya (Malaysia) and the AsTW 2020 will be the last AsTW at University of Malaya. \nThose six prestigious universities in the ASEAN regions and Japan\, namely University of Malaya\, Mahidol University\, Ateneo de Manila University\, Vietnam National University\, Hanoi\, Fukuoka Women’s University\, and Kyushu University\, have collaborated in the AsTW program with the strong support from the ASEAN Secretariat and AUN. \nThe 2020 session will convene\nfrom February 22 to March 5\, 2020\nat University of Malaya\, Malaysia \nApplication deadline:October 27\, 2019 \n  \nStructure of AsTW: \nThe AsTW curriculum consists of ASEAN Studies (AS) and Asian Languages & Cultures (ALC)courses\, supplemented by co-curricular Study Trips\, providing students with rich and unique learning opportunities. \nThe AS component gives AsTW its distinction as a rigorous introduction to selected ASEAN issues that increasingly affect global and regional “ASEAN+3” relations. Students will broaden their knowledge and gain deeper understanding of ASEAN and “ASEAN+3” cooperation through the AS courses. A valuable part of the program is the opportunity to approach ASEAN and East Asia topics from different perspectives. \nThe ALC component provides students with an intensive Asian language study experience designed to build proficiency in the language chosen and to help with acquisition of basic knowledge of the related culture in an integrated approach. Students will gain a general understanding of the culture and sociolinguistic context of each language. By the end of each course\, students are expected to have developed some fundamental skills in listening and speaking as well as an understanding of daily conduct in the appropriate cultural setting. \nThe combination of AS and ALC studies will contribute to the students’ synthetic understanding of the ASEAN and East Asia communities. \nA series of cultural study trips is another attractive part of the program. Each excursion is intended to allow students the chance to increase their awareness and enhance their appreciation of the history\, culture\, and social life of the country where AsTW is held. \nTo complete the AsTW program\, students must enroll in two courses (one each from the ALC and AS offerings) for credit and participate in all official events. Students who meet all AsTW requirements will be awarded a certificate issued jointly by Kyushu University and a partner university. \nSource: http://www.isc.kyushu-u.ac.jp/astw/?fbclid=IwAR38uAtGYc78W4xctUatzVvx4AujP_9bROY3JeReQiRAzulVJ3ncYMkIRx4 \n
